You think it'll be a draw?

yep

This is it

It's time for you to go to the wire

i thought you"d lost it for a second there. cream not one of my faves

Robbo getting out safetied

Robbo keeps fouling.

Robbo’s overrated as a safety player/tactician in my opinion.

China has much better technology for putting balls back than other countries.

Yeah - I wonder if he had much help with that.

Growing up in Oz must be harder to learn that aspect of the game.

5-5

49-49

Both answers are zero SF.

Brecel should be added to the 'best long potter' poll.

What?

Robbo so unlucky there!

Outrageous piece of bad luck from Robbo.

Shades of Sunny against Ronnie at the UK.

I can see that opinion, if I'm honest.

Though I'd prefer a way that the best of 17s could both be shown.

They are on the player.

WTF was that?

What a crazy fluke that was!

“He missed the pot by-“

“About a yard!”

“Yup, and that’s no exaggeration.”

Uh... yes it is, actually.

I watched that fluke again, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the rest. It didn't move or something.

possible 2nd round clash between Trump and Lisowski at the World Championship.

FFS Luca.

Well Robbo’s hardly going to blame himself for a miss is he? There’s always something else to blame.

I was expecting Robertson to win this easily and even said he'll destroy Luca. I was wrong. The Aussie might still win of course but Luca is making a real match out of this. So all credit to him. Seems he has found some good form in this tournament.

Luca tactical play has been very solid fair play to him

Yes it has been impressive. Bit surprising.

Luca 3-1 with the bookies now.

I think that is generous.

Will have that

7-6 Robbo.

tactical mistake from brecel

If not Luca, then hope Jack wins the event.

Shades of his friend Trump when he won the China Open and went on to become a top player.
